Value Collection MSC67701201X Taper Pin Size 2 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67701201X is a Size 2 taper pin manufactured from 303 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 1.5 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.1618 inches and a large end diameter of 0.193 inches. The passivated surface treatment removes surface iron and improves corrosion resistance without altering dimensional tolerances. This pin meets ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards and is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople who need a reliable, corrosion-resistant fastening and alignment component.

Taper pins are used to secure hubs, collars, levers, and similar components to shafts in mechanical assemblies. The Size 2 designation and 1.5-inch length make this pin appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical connections in HVAC equipment, pump assemblies, and general industrial machinery. Stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in environments with moisture exposure or where mild chemical resistance is required.

Key Features

• Size 2 taper pin conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards
• 303 stainless steel with 18-8 alloy composition for corrosion resistance
• Passivated finish for improved surface corrosion protection
• Small end diameter of 0.1618 inches with a tolerance range of -0.0007 to +0.0013 inches
• 1.5-inch overall length suitable for light- to medium-duty shaft-to-hub connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Size 2 taper pin replacement or new installation component for mechanical assemblies requiring ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 conforming taper pins in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a reamed taper hole sized to match the pin dimensions. The mating hole should be finish-reamed with a Size 2 taper pin reamer before driving the pin to ensure proper fit and seating. Remove all power and de-energize any rotating equipment before servicing. Do not force-fit a taper pin into an undersized or unreamed hole, as this can fracture the pin or damage the workpiece.
